Well, as I understand it the refresh rate on e-ink displays is pretty bad and you can't easily update a part of the screen -- hence it's not possible to have an on-screen keyboard.

A cell-phone like input system could certainly be viable (multiple characters on one key) but either way, I think that 9+ keys is too much to accommodate on the device in a easy way.
